Come along on a wonderful journey with these two master teachers and playfully deep thinkers. Gilligan and Dilts will challenge you, delight you and move you. With poetry, humor, exercises, and some amazing language, you will feel like you are in the room with them as they invite you to journey far and return to yourself again in a new way. Heed their call; read this book. --Bill O Hanlon, author of Change 101, A Guide to Trance Land and Do One Thing Different
This is an absolutely outstanding collaboration between two of the world s foremost transformational pioneers and a breakthrough contribution in the field of personal development. Robert Dilts and Stephen Gilligan have produced a superb account of a magical four day seminar so vivid and dynamic, you feel you are part of it as you read. They ve developed a truly profound, integrated and evolutionary model from leading-edge approaches in NLP, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Aikido, Meditation, Five Rhythms and much more, and co-train it live with tremendous humour, compassion and wisdom. If you want to come more alive, be more present, bring more of yourself to the party with all its joys and difficulties then I wholeheartedly recommend The Hero s Journey as your guide. --Judith Lowe, PPD Learning Ltd, NLP Training, London
This book provides an ideal format for groups who want to explore new dimensions of personhood. For me, it crystallized concepts that I had wondered about, yet had never known how to discuss. Gilligan and Dilts establish a vocabulary for spirituality that for goes beyond the philosophical, into the experiential. They are teaching what mystics have always known and done. --Judith E. Pearson, PhD, NLP Trainer and Licensed Counselor

Product Description
Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts truly take you on a voyage of self-discovery. The Hero s Journey examines the questions: How can you live a meaningful life? What is the deepest life you are called to, and how can you respond to that call? It is about how to discover your calling and how to embark on the path of learning and transformation that will reconnect you with your spirit, change negative beliefs and habits, heal emotional wounds and physical symptoms, deepen intimacy, and improve self-image and self-love. Along this path we inevitably meet challenges and confronting these challenges forces us to develop and think in new ways and push us outside our comfort zone. The book takes the form of a transcript of a four day workshop conducted by Stephen and Robert. It is a powerful way of learning as you are so absorbed by the experiences of the participants that you feel you are actually there. A wonderful voyage of discovery for everyone who thinks that, there must be more to life than this .

I have read many NLP books, and have become tired of the sameness of many of them - the same NLP stories, the same exhortations to brighten those sub-modalities or collapse those anchors !. Consequently I was very excited to discover this new angle on self-development through NLP. "The Hero's Journey" provides a pathway to help identify your inner calling and deal with the negative energies holding you back. It's a refreshing approach, seamlessly building in many NLP and hypnosis tools including timeline, parts integration, and perceptual positions.
I hope this book stimulates a new NLP literature to replace the stagnation of many current NLP works.
This is not to say that this book is the whole answer. I have a number of reservations about it - I find the self-congratulatory style of the presenters irritating and the use of pseudo-intellectual language offputting ("the following exercise applies the systemic NLP processes of spatial sorting, somatic syntax and the concept of characterological adjectives ..."). Why can't the book be accessible to everyone ?
But put aside the "new age" gloop (or as the authors have it - "extend into a field of fields, where there is an intelligence ... a mind beyond mind") and you'll find a very interesting and useful resource for advanced NLPers seeking to help themselves and others along the path to self-fulfillment. If NLP is a major part of your self development, then this book is well worth reading. It helped me clarify my goals and issues. I hope other authors will develop the route further.

I have trained with both authors and have a high regard for them. This book is essentailly a transcript of a joint seminar they delivered. For me the journey metaphor works and is a great frame to explore the material they offer for personal change work. If you are interested in their work, particularly if you are looking for a brief introduction to Stephen Gilligan's self relations approach, this book has a lot to commend it. However, it is edited from a seminar transcript and while this gives a little sense of what is like to work with them, it also means the text reflects the context it was originally created for - group work - and this means that the book is not as tightly organised as it would be if it had been written from scratch. Some reviewers comment on "new age" comments. Both authors are serious practitioners and well qualified professionals. They also challenge convential wisdom, Stephen in particular will joke about his Californian/Irish sense of humour - do not mistake wit for shallowness - the material they present is powerful and they are skilled at working with people at a deep level. This is not formulaic nlp it is much more interesting than that. If you have worked with the authors or would like to you will probably enjoy the book and want more. If you are looking for something that takes you beyond the normal frame of NLP you will probably like it, if you are new to this type of personal work you may struggle to connect to the work by just reading the transcript in isolation. It is very difficult to convey what actually working with the authors is like experientially, the only way is to actually go along and work with them. I hope some people who read the book do use it as a spring board to do just that.

I was delighted to find this collaboration between Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts because both of them have taught me important,transformative professional skills in the past.Dilts works via NLP mastery while Gilligan heals through Psychotherapy and Miltonian Hypnosis.Obviously,there is much common ground between the two modalities.
The book is a transcript of a 4 day seminar on "The Hero's Quest".While transcripts sometimes fail to convey the skilful use of hypnosis on the participants,I enjoyed the nuances and the descriptions of the work with real people.This demonstrated the power of the various techniques and could be utilised with one's own clients.
This book is a very useful resource for those who want to live from a generative state as well as for NLP Psychotherapists and Coaches.It offers new approaches to a Psychosynthesis frame which are truly effective at a very deep level.Not simply techniques for "messing with your mind" but an empathetic way of being and relating.
For anyone at all interested in development way beyond tinkering with behaviours and the personality level,this book is a must read and then a must" model".I know my work with therapy and coaching clients will be the richer for this.Thank you!
